Breaking Dawn md Ru,,a,,n IT.

When O ma breaks down in the matter of
physical strength, the question of its recovery
depends in great measure upon the length of
time he allows TO eiapse before adopting medi-
clnal means to recnperate it. A tonic, which
gives a speedy and powerful impulse to the
processes Of digestion and assimi ation, is the
best auxiliary he can employ, and he should
resort to it promptly. Tha most reliable de-

Treatment i'm Liver Complaints.

Treatment ina Liver Complaints.
According TO Murchison, o careful
regulation Of the diet will do more TO.
one who is afflicted with o liver trouble
than all medicine. The foods to b.
avoided are the fatty, the saccharine,
and the highly seasoned.
Corn, oats, wheat, sago, rice ane
potatoes consist largely ofIStarch, which,
in the process of digestion, is converted
into sugar. In severe cases, these and
kindred substances must be given up.
As most people would find it has be-
ingly difficult long to di~spenskni nn IL
use of wheat bread, gluten breadSaiays a
substituted for it; that is, bread mad1
of wheat from which about two-thirds
of the starch has been removed. The
dict should absolutely exclude clear fat
and sugar.
The quantity of the food is a consid-
Grafton hardly second to the quality.
Too much food, of whatever kind, must
be strictly guarded against.
The liver is injuriousIy affected by al
coholic liquors, generally. These bcver-
; ages are to be rigidly prohibited, es.
pecially malt liquors, port wine, ane
champagne. One would not have sup
nosed beer to be worse than brandy. but
it is much worse.
Next 10 regulating the diet is securing
!, m abundance of fresh air-sea air is cs,
p~ccially helpful in liver dificultics-ane
a suficiency of vigorous exercise. Thu
action of the skin should be kept up BY
frequently bathing the body with warm
water and soap.
1t is also beneficial to drink half
pint of cold water, OF water with a little
soda in il, on going to bed, and while
dressing in the morning.

: cult and refractory that it is PECULIAR.
